The Electoral Commission has called on the Ghana Police Service to investigate former president John Dramani Mahama for claims made concerning the 2020 elections.
Addressing the press, Deputy EC Chairperson Dr Bossman Asare said Mr Mahama’s claims of ballot stuffing are blatantly false and can undermine the democratic process.
He noted that allegations of ballot stuffing can undermine the credibility of the electoral process and thus should not be ignored.
“The former President has said the EC thumb printed 1million ballots in favour of the president. This is untrue.
“We call on the Former President in the interest of our democracy to provide evidence of the stuffing of the ballot boxes by the EC. This is not a matter to be ignored and we call on the Ghana Police Service to investigate this,” Deputy EC Chairperson Dr Bossman Asare said.
Reacting to this was the National Organizer of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Joshua Akamba described the call to investigate John Mahama’s comments as useless.
Speaking on Ahotor Fm, Mr Akamba said any violence that will come as a result of elections in Ghana should be blamed on the current EC leaders.
